The King of Black Fog

With a thundering roar, the building on the right suddenly collapsed, a rain of shattered stones, steel bars, glass… came crashing down.

"Damn you, Wang Donghua!" Li Changzhou slammed on the brakes, fishtailing the Skoda to a stop just outside the reach of the collapsing building.

"Screech—Squeak!"

The piercing sound of brakes, and with her Perception as high as 7 points, Yang Qinglan could even smell the odor of the tires burning against the road.

"Get out!" Li Changzhou opened the driver's door.

Once they got out, Yang Qinglan, Yafeiluna, and the squirrel were stepping deep and shallow, as if walking on clouds.

Before they could adjust, a group of soldiers controlled by Zombie Worms converged towards them.

Li Changzhou bent down, picked up a piece of rubble that had fallen from the collapsed building, and hurled it with all his might.

The stone tore through the air and struck the soldiers' bulletproof vests, the powerful impact knocking them all down.

Another thunderous rumble to the left, an armored vehicle came barreling through everything in its path.

Yang Qinglan's eyes turned blue, and with just a glance, clunk, the armored vehicle directly slid into a roadside shop, the large glass windows scattering like splashing water.

"Go!" said Li Changzhou.

Bi landed on his back, and at the same time, Li Changzhou reached out, pulled Yang Qinglan into his arms, and Qian Xia transformed into a Snowy Owl, perching on his shoulder.

He bent his knees and shot off like a cannonball towards the "Dancing House."

In the instant he took flight, an endless barrage of bullets came his way, dense and unrelenting.

In the blink of an eye, from the outside, the telekinetic shield looked like a sphere made of bullets.

On the ground, Yafeiluna, carried on the shoulders of a polar bear woman, endured the jarring ride while commanding the grey fog to smother soldiers and drones;

The squirrel cried and sprinted on the ground, sometimes jumping on cars, sometimes rolling to dodge flying rubble, much like the pet of the male lead in a Hollywood blockbuster.

The momentum of Li Changzhou's forward charge was blocked by bullets. He fell to the ground not having leaped very far.

The bullets that fell with them tinkled as they hit the ground.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

A fresh storm of bullets engulfed them again, with fire from both drones and soldiers.

Bi was furiously sucking on a lollipop behind him, bearing the brunt of such a large-scale bullet bombardment, which forced out most of her "Suck Level" strength.

This was the strength classification she had tailor-made for herself: lick, suck, and bite-crush (the latter being absolutely spine-chilling).

Li Changzhou didn't continue jumping, instead he moved quickly, avoiding being targeted by the tank, while spreading his hands open.

After five heartbeats, a "Heavy Machine Gun" appeared in his hand.

The "Heavy Machine Gun" with unlimited bullets spat flames like an evil dragon, wildly sweeping fire.

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat!

The world was reduced to gunfire.

Before him lay bullet hell, where any flesh daring to enter would be pulverized.

"This is so annoying, let me do it!" Bi was about to bite the lollipop and level the nearby area to the ground.

"No!" Yang Qinglan stopped her.

"Why?!"

"There are still civilians in the building!"

With Yang Qinglan's Perception, even amid the world of gunfire, she could still detect the presence of quite a few ordinary people nearby.

Bi, grinding her teeth in frustration, said, "Being a good person is such a damn hassle!"

"The more remarkable the feat, the more troublesome!" Li Changzhou laughed heartily, his "Heavy Machine Gun" in hand, destroying drones and killing soldiers one after another.

The polar bear woman blocked a wave of bullets with ice and was so cold she trembled.

Yafeiluna, clinging to her, was on the verge of losing consciousness from the cold, the grey fog standing motionless in the air. Fortunately, she was immune to heat-based weapons, otherwise, she would have been torn to pieces.

The polar bear woman kicked the squirrel hiding by her feet into a restaurant and then leaped in herself.

Immediately, the inside erupted in panic-stricken cries, as seven or eight people hiding there were revealed, apparently having been on their way out of the city.

They huddled together in a corner, trembling and keeping their distance from the white chill trailing off the polar bear woman and her companions.

The polar bear woman kept her distance from them too. The gunfire outside had been going on for a while, interspersed occasionally with the boom of shells, before it finally quieted down.

Li Changzhou put away the "Heavy Machine Gun," kicked off the ground along the riverbank, and sprinted almost flying towards the heavily besieged "Dancing House."

Soldiers and drones were in a relentless firefight there, with soldiers dying every moment and drones being shot down every second.

Li Changzhou, enveloped in a telekinetic shield, dived into the bullet stream like a fish, swimming upstream and jumping into the eye of the storm—"Dancing House."

After all that exertion, even with his Constitution, he could not help but catch his breath a little.

Yang Qinglan listened intently with a Calming Heart, and half a minute later, she said, "On the seventh floor!"

Like a wind-up car, Li Changzhou zipped away in an instant.

"Boom!"

The entire building suddenly shook.

As Li Changzhou ran, he glanced through the gaping hole, where a squad of soldiers was loading new shells into rocket launchers.

The seventh-floor French restaurant was named Ginger Fred Festaurant. Normally, dining there offered a panoramic view of Prague Castle and Petrin Hill.

But now, the scent was of weapon's gunpowder, the taste that of fear and death.

No wonder the Worm and Wang Donghua had amassed so much firepower here; six Players were trapped, totaling at least 60 Points.

The sudden appearance (to the six Players) of a fourth party halted the gunfire momentarily.

"Brother Donghua," Li Changzhou spoke to a black drone, "since I'm all the way up here, how about you leave these six Players to me?"

"Fine." Wang Donghua knew he had no leverage over him and didn't want to waste time, "Zombie Worms are transporting even heavier weaponry this way. I'm going to pull back the intercepting drones now. Be careful."
